This summary is also posted to the Maemo developers' list and the Maemo Bug Jar blog.

How to make the "Most important" ranks more useful? Currently there is a lot of overlap with most voted + oldest. Also, how are they calculated?

We could use High/Low priority to push/pull reports to/from the Bug Jar. The "Most important" rank would be renamed "Looking for feedback" or something like that.

Rationale:

In the bugs there are several levels of severity that (I guess) help pushing bugs as more important. With enhancement requests there is only one level though:"enhancement".

On top of that, many times what appears in the top 10 Most Important doesn't look like the most important to me. Although on the other hand newest, oldest and most voted are showing topics considered very important......

So I was thinking of playing more with the Priority field, currently quite unused (except on product Website). That field could mean "priority for feedback" and we could set it High to push reports to the Bug Jar for feedback: comments, votes, etc. Some low/normal bugs hang there with 0/1 votes and even if they are interesting probably only Andre and GA are aware of them.

This summary is also posted to the Maemo developers' list and the Maemo Bug Jar blog.

From what you wrote in the rest of your post, you've figured out that the bug jars simply rely upon Bugzilla's own "sort by importance" option. It seemed the best way to go, though as you point out, it does leave enhancements at a disadvantage.

Sounds good. I can change that for the next edition, if you like.

I don't know anything about Bugzilla administration, but it seems likely that severity options could be expanded to provide more gradations for enhancements. Even if possible though, I don't know if such a change would be desirable.

That's okay by me, but I don't do the hard work of triaging the bugs, I just run some simple reports.
